You have to see this !
I don't know what's crazier the bear walking into the restaurant or the idiots running towards him with their cell phones out to get a picture ?

Re: You have to see this !
I can understand the bear wanting to maybe get a bite to eat..maybe he thought it was a Black Bear Diner
The people with the phone cameras.... SMH

The rules at Yellowstone have sure changed ... Or maybe they strenuously enforce them now compared to then.

Re: You have to see this !
Saw the same thing with two bull elk in the village on the south rim of the Grand Canyon a few years ago. Stupid people two or three yards from full grown bull elk harassing them for photos. I watched for a bit hoping to see someone get a hard education but it wasn’t to be.
Two black bears walked up the street right in front of the house we rented in the smokies a few weeks ago. Watched them from the upper deck and that was plenty close for me. Real life ain’t a Disney movie and bears don’t want a hug.

Re: You have to see this !
The funny thing is, it's probably safer than turning and running away. People's minds are so insulated, that when they see something wild in their habitat, they treat it like it's been domesticated. I would back away slowly and make sure that there were plenty of juicy, stupid people between me and the bear, haha.

Re: You have to see this !
I am really surprised that we are not seeing this in Northern Calif with all the fires. 1/4 million acres burned just with one fire. A lot of wildlife is getting displaced

Re: You have to see this !
It's funny how different things can be. I have not seen, heard from or about my first Ex since 1991. We walked away from the courthouse after filing a peaceful dissolution and have had no contact or issues since. I honestly could not tell you where she even lives. I guess for that matter if she even is still alive?

Re: You have to see this !
I'm sure the bear was either put down or tranquilized and taken far away . When they have no fear of humans it's not a good thing. We have them here and we make loud noises when going to the blueberry bushes up in the back field they run like hell. Most times they run away anyway unless you surprise them. Then they react accordingly.

Re: You have to see this !
Warning labels on EVERYTHING just dumb everyone down so no one thinks for themselves any more. It’s a real thing called common sense, but we won’t back down from it in this overly litigious culture.

Re: You have to see this !
When bears may be present, Outdoorsmen should carry bells and pepper spray to scare off the bears.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear feces has bells in it and smells like pepper.
